Bronte Barbe has become the second hopeful to be voted off Over The Rainbow.

The 18-year-old found herself in the bottom two alongside Lauren Samuels and learnt that she had received the fewest public votes.

Both contestants then had to perform a rendition of 'What I Did For Love' from A Chorus Line to convince Andrew Lloyd Webber to keep them in the competition.

After their performances, Webber said that both of the women were in his top five and added: "I am truly gutted with this. You are two fantastically talented girls. Both of you will go a long, long way in your careers."

He continued: "This is the first time in all the shows I've done that genuinely I can say I don't know. But I've got to make the choice and I just feel experience might count and I'm going to save Lauren. And I'm sorry, Bronte."

Webber added that Barbe is "fantastically talented" and told her: "You must keep in touch. You must keep in touch with all the panel - I know they all agree with me - and you're a fantastic kid."

After hearing the decision, a tearful Barbe said: "It has been the most amazing experience of my life. All those girls are so amazing, they deserve it so much."
